Abstract
Brain metastases are the most common intracranial tumors and have a poor prognosis in their natural course. Treatment options include surgical resection, whole brain radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and systemic therapy. The applications of SRS have expanded over the last several decades, and SRS has become the most commonly used primary treatment modality for metastatic brain tumors. This review summarizes the role of SRS in the treatment of metastatic brain tumors and discusses the recommendations of guidelines.
